went to work early to do some shopping and I also got my paycheck which was a credit card. Lea saw me and begged me to work eight hours in the book section instead of my usual five hours. I wonder why I agreed to do this except it was quite crowded today. I didn't bring any food along. I brought cat food and food for myself. The cat food was sent home. The food for me went in my locker. I get two thirty-minute breaks. A worker who was supposed to clean the children's department was out sick so I'm covering for the worker while cleaning the book section. It's going to be a long day. I can't wait for my shift is over. My feet hurt. My legs are achy. I think my shin is tired from the journal I keep taped there. I think… yawn. I'm tired. Sigh. I'm filled with dread. The customers signed to me. They know Bruce and I have a relationship. Bruce showed up smelling like fish. I was honest when I told him that. He explained he didn't have time to shower before coming here. He got my cat food and put it in the machine. I kissed him on the lips. Several customers who saw us do that applauded. Lea came by. She was annoyed. Bruce went home. I went back to work. The customers are neater and nicer here. I'm bored. When Lea wasn't around Anna and I talked women's stuff including stuff about Wolves. I tried to tell her about my wolf changing forms but somehow someone kept putting a hand on my mouth. Anna seemed to know about this because she looked around and put a finger to her lips. I learned that Anna is in her thirties. I'm nineteen years old. I'll be twenty one in two years. I can't wait. Anna told me you have to be twenty-one to drive a car. Anna drove me home. It's nice to have someone drive you home. I took a shower. The bathroom smelled like fish. I'm going to have to get used to this. I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed now. Good night.
Tired,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
Lucky for me I'm glad I have the day off. It was nice break. I slept late. I ate some breakfast. I saw Bruce. He looked tired. He fell asleep in his food which was some sort of dry cereal. I had to wake him.
I told him in sign language "Go back to bed."
He went to his room. I found Luke's door closed. I think he's asleep. I have a fun day today. Today seems to be a little warmer. I watched the news. The crew on Edenia managed to blast off. They got injuries. The Edenia's natives hurt them bad. I think they might consider Edenia off limits. I wonder if I could take a walk around town. It might give me something to do. Luke got up. I asked him about taking a walk around town. He told me to take a cab. The town is pretty big. The houses are farther apart. I decided to walk around the property. I went outside and I walked to the river. The yard is pretty big. I had an urge to change my form to a wolf but I got a vision of a white wolf who told me not to. I wonder where the town is made after on Earth. I guess New Hampshire. I don't know. The river isn't that big. It's a small river leading to the mountains. I would love to see the crystal spires. I went inside the house and I saw Bruce. He was dressed and eating lunch. I ate some food with him. Then I went to my room. I felt tired from my walk. It's great to see Bruce. I feel fine. I don't feel sick. I feel happy. I hope Sue is doing okay. I'm sorry to lose my best friend. The news talked about the shuttle reaching Terra. They're in the Winchester continent. I have Victoria on me. I think Bruce is in bed. He and his father have to get up really early tomorrow. I called work to see if I'm working tomorrow. Reached Lea and she told me yes. I'm glad its five hours instead of eight hours. I ate dinner then I went to my room. I have to be quiet. I think Luke maybe asleep by now. I went downstairs and I found Luke's door open. The kittens were in his room playing. He was watching a video. I asked him when he's going to bed. He told me he likes to stay up late. I chatted with him. We talked about Bruce, the town and the house. Luke has been living here for four years. I asked him about his wife and daughter. He told me he didn't want to talk about them. So I left him to his video. I took a shower. The water was good. It was hot just the way I like it. Then I went to my room. I watched the news. They talked about the crystal spires. There's a new law allowing only archaeologists in the spires. They are to make sure the spires are safe to go in. I can't wait. I'm excited. I hope I go in the spires someday. I would love to know what they look like inside.
Yours Truly,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
My room light blinked. I woke up and went downstairs. I found the phone ringing. I left it alone. I'm surprised Luke didn't hear it. There was a video message from Sean.
“Sue is doing fine” said Sean.
I left the phone alone. Then I went upstairs to my room. I woke up by my alarm. I felt tired. I had awhile to go before I work. I went back to bed. I dreamed of me in a hospital room with needles poking me all over. It was very scary because I'm not keen on needles. I woke up feeling sick. I threw up in the bathroom. I felt hungry so I ate some food. I watched the news. They talked about Edenia then the shuttle crew and about Sue being a perfectionist. They showed a clip of her smiling and laughing talking about being a perfectionist. Sean announced their engagement their getting married and the baby she was carrying. Then the news signed off. I decided to walk around town for a while. I had to tape my diary to my leg. I got to work fine. I walked around town. The town is big. The houses are farther apart. There are hills which made me huff and puff. I saw the views of the ocean too. I wanted to go to the ocean but it was near time for me to show up for work. I worked fine. The customers were neat. I was bored. Anna and I talked about the town which is a paradise. I also had an image of me standing outside a hospital door. I can't believe I miss the Winsted store. I'm sad about Sue. I can't believe I miss my friend. I can't believe she turned out to be a perfectionist. I ate an apple for snack. I checked the schedule I'm working tomorrow for five hours. One hour after closing time. I wonder why. I asked Lea. She explained the store closes at a certain time leaving the store in a mess. She wanted people to clean the areas. After work Anna drove Lea and I home. Lea and Anna's house is next door to the house I'm staying in. I found a mushy note from Bruce. It was the same thing he wrote the other day. How original. I took a shower then I planned to go to bed. I'm tired. I feel like I'm tired. I can't wait to go to the community center to check out the library. Canada is a good town. I checked online for a web site. There is one along with a web site on Winsted. Sue made the Winsted web site. It had perfectionist crap on it. I wonder how Sue got to be a perfectionist. I'm curious. The news mentioned the police have no news on who bombed my old house. I think I'll go to bed now.
Love,
Me

Dear Anne,
I'm glad to be here. Bruce and his father were out. They left a note explaining they'll be out fishing. Fishing again. I can't wait to see Bruce. I hate it when our schedules are different. The kitchen light blinked. I'm not having a good day. I checked the phone it was the doorbell. I saw Sue. She was happy to see me. She gave me a package. I thanked her and invited her in. We talked for an hour then she left. I checked the package. I could hear a ticking sound in it. I threw it in the garbage can outside. Then there was a loud boom. I checked the garbage can. It was in pieces. Good thing I threw it in the garbage. I talked to the picture phone to call Luke's ship and reached him. I explained Sue stopped by with a package. Luke told me to throw it in the garbage. I told him I did that and told him that the package exploded in the garbage can. I'm glad I have my hearing aids on. We signed off. I had to go to work in two hours. I hope I'll be fine. I plan to walk around town. I removed Victoria from my lap. Then I walked around town. I saw a car in the air. It seemed to be following me. I arrived at work before my scheduled time. I saw Anna. I told her about Sue coming for a visit and giving me a package. Anna asked me if I threw it out. I told her I did. The package turned out to be a bomb. I found a TV in the break room that is also like a computer. I used it to check for news. The police came and examined the garbage can. They deducted it was a perfectionist bomber. The whole town wasn't pleased with this. The news mentioned the town major
ity in religion is toleration for others. The news talked about the Edenia shuttle crew. They'll be going to Winsted. I feel like eating Chocolate. I remembered I had diabetes so I ate dinner. I had a while before my break is over. I had a twenty-minute break time. I checked my gymnastics website. Sue added another picture of a symbol, the five rings. I can't believe she became a perfectionist. I'm very sad about that. I called home. I reached Luke. I explained about having a flying car follow me when I walked around town. Luke wasn't happy about that. An employee came in with the nameplate of Monique who resembled Mrs. Yulien. She told me she was expecting a call. I signed off. I had to go to the restroom to take my journal off my leg. Then I went to write. I checked the schedule I have tomorrow off. I'm glad. I don't know what I'll be doing tomorrow. I brought a new garbage can. Anna drove Lea and I home. I saw the police there. They were still examining the destroyed garbage can. The police questioned me. I told them I got the package from Sue. I added about hearing a ticking sound from the package. I added about having a car following me in the air. The police told
